Colt McCoy was a bargain, too

Earlier today, we pointed out that the Steelers got receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey at a CBA-induced bargain.

Base salary of $735,000, signing bonus of $65,000, cap number of $635,000.

The Redskins got the same bargain, with veteran quarterback Colt McCoy. Per a source with knowledge of the contract, McCoy gets a base salary of $735,000 and a signing bonus of $65,000. The deal carries a cap number of $635,000.

With only $65,000 guaranteed, there’s a chance McCoy, a third-round pick of the Browns in 2010 who spent 2013 with the 49ers, won’t make the 53-man roster. There’s also a chance he’ll be the No. 2 quarterback, in the event the Redskins decide to trade Kirk Cousins.

Either way, it’s an affordable investment for the Redskins at one the most important position on the field.

And moves like this are the reason the redskins are the laughing stock in the nfl. Three horrible quarter backs on there roster. They are as awful as what the Vikings have. Two teams who couldn’t compete in Canadian football

There are a lot worse QBs on NFL rosters that has never had the success Vince Young has had …(NFL Rookie of the Year, 2 Pro Bowls, Playoff experience and Mobility). Vince has a career winning record of 31-19…
I hope some team gives this quarterback a try-out, even if it’s for third string…
GM/Coach, sit down and talk to this guy…I think he can help….

Colt Mc Coy was never big. He was quick, but not super big, but had a good arm, and the NFL ‘s most elite scouts poohed poohed the guy as being an impact player at the NFL level. So be it. The haters abound, but let me tell you what Mc Coy has that many of the NFL’s best do not have: EXTREME INTELLECT. You combine that boy’s smarts with his talent, and he’ll be a sure operator given the right opportunities and NFL team. Are the foreskins his best bet? The jury is out but I could think of worse QB’s for their back-up slot. RGIII is a Texas boy and so is Colt. They will connect. Give Colt a chance. He may surprise us all…but me? Not so much. He was a Texas Longhorn. He was made for this opportunity.
